In the December issue of Interview (covered by Penelope Cruz who follows in the severe footsteps of Keira and Kristen), there’s an editorial full of best front row faces.
“The inner sanctum of fashion’s elite has been given a new platform,” they write. “Followers of fashion have shifted their fascination away from the runway to the cool people sitting alongside it in the front row. The audience of style makers has become the subject matter itself with fashion scenester as the new celebrities and the blogs relentlessly following their every move.”
Their portfolio includes stellar shots of Charlotte Stockdale and Jefferson Hack, Daphne (of course) and Katie Grand, Natalia Vodianova and a pregnant Dasha. There’s also a dripping wet image of Anna Dello Russo, though for once you won’t look at her clothes - her killer legs take over the page.
Each image comes with a quote including this one from Tabitha Simmons, “Fashion has sped up so much due to the internet. I don’t understand what race we are all trying to win.”
All of the images, after the jump.
